15th August 2011

Well here I am blogging - I never thought there would be such a day having never followed a blog never mind writing one!  But a couple of people have suggested it and we thought it would be a better way to keep those of you that are interested up to date with how we are doing. We actually set this up last month but wanted to wait until we had something to report before we sent it out.
First of all, the important bit – the money raised.  So far we have raised £565 for Marie Curie Cancer Care and £355 for Water Aid – again thank you so much for everyone who has donated
 But it is now day 21 and the stats are as follows:
Steps counted = 597,425 Steps still to do = 1,402575
Steps counted by Jean 243,954 Steps counted by David 353,471
 Looks good doesn't it?   However this is due to us having been away to our flat in Scarborough and walking EVERYWHERE.  We completed the Cleveland Way and started the Tabular Hills Way as well as enjoying the lovely walks along the coastal paths.  On one day we did 64,556 steps between us and on another we did 54,456.  Compare that with our step count now we are back at home.  On Saturday we did just 13,555 steps (mainly around Tesco’s!) - quite a difference and I know my step count will be way down today as I sit at my laptop – so far today my pedometer reads just 271.  Let’s hope David is leaping around out there keeping our total up!.
That’s it for now but we will try to do an update each week. 
Jean (and David)
